Pretty good value. We stayed in a one bedroom with bunks which slept our family of 5 comfortably. Check in was easy and the view was amazing. We had the same problem with the elevators as everybody else and on the 28th floor we weren't taking the stairs. Room was pretty clean but the dishwasher didn't work and the fridge... More

We chose this resort because of the amenities and for the crowd due to our son being a 16 year old boy that loves being around lots of people. :) If you want peace & quiet without a crowd, this is not a place for you! Great for families with kids and teenagers. Very safe to let teenagers roam around.... More

Elevators were our only issue but it's an enormous place, what do people expect? Room was great as well as check in and within walking distance to Pier Park (love love love). Something for everyone at Tidewater. Superb location.

I read so many reviews on this place about the terrible elevators and I can say after seeing how huge this place is, that's to be expected! I never waited longer than 5 minutes for an elevator. Not to mention there are tons of them... Try a different set next time! I will stay here for many trips to come.... More

Tidewater 105 was just as described and matched the photos!! No surprises when we arrived. Perfect location -one flight up the stairs to skywalk to parking garage - one flight down to beach and pools. No waiting on the elevators. This condo had large rooms and the kitchen was well equipped with all necessary appliances and dishes. This condo was... More

I gave it another chance this year & nothing has changed elevator service is terrible. This is a great clean resort but i will not stay here again because after a long day at the beach... More

This place is a nightmare!! I spent 30 mins on the only working elevator going from the beach to 23rd floor. Twice this wk I just gave up and took the stairs. Not once have we seen security, pot smoke hangs over the hallways like a constant fog screaming kids everywhere, you will see the halls packed out with angry... More

We rented our condo #110 from the owner and the room was very clean and located very close to the main staircase. I was very happy to be on a lower floor so we could walk to the beach access area and not have to wait on an elevator. The Tidewater is a 30 floor high rise and has approximately... More

If you have not been to TideWater Condo yet, beware. The Elevator here is horrible. On a normal run, it take you at least 15-20 minutes to move up or down trip. Everyone visit here will forever remember this condo with the Elevator. On check in day (using the carriage cart) .... it take us 45 minutes before we can... More
